WELCOME TO MY RECIPES PAGE!!

first recipe: good grilled cheese

the original recipe calls for a source of heat, but i'm very weak to spice unfortunately... so i tend to leave that out. however, if you CAN handle it, then adding some chili flakes, dijon mustard, etc is HIGHLY reccommended.

first, though, take 3 garlic cloves and crush them. garlic powder works too, i use a garlic and ginger paste i always have in stock. you can eyeball all of these, but be careful-- garlic's strong!

take two bread slices and put a source of sweetness on them, honey is ideal! (add your heat here too, if you choose)

take a pan and put it on your stove on low to medium heat. (you might have to adjust this based on your stove! i have unfortunately burnt a couple in the past...)

put some butter on the pan along with your garlic-- add some herbs too! if you have an italian spice mix, or any spices included in that, that's ideal.

the butter will melt in the pan and soak up the extra flavors— now you gotta either take each slice of bread and put them in the pan to butter them OR take one slice, put cheese on it (ideally not american/kraft single cheese, anything but that) and then put the other slice on. i personally use a fiesta shredded cheese mix!

once the bread is in the pan turn the heat up a couple of notches and let it sit for a bit. when you see the cheese get visibly melty or you nudge the bread around and feel the crispiness, flip it once and do the same thing!

then, you're done! enjoy your sandwich!
